Why do we fly kites during Makar Sankranti?
Makar Sankranti is a festival known for flying kites and eating sesame ( तीळ ) sweets. This day is said to mark the end of the winters and beginning of spring in our country, bringing joy for the farmers of getting new crops.
From now on the days will be longer than the nights. And summer will start. But do we fly kites?
The tradition of flying kites during Makar Sankranti is followed all over in the country and lately has spread in many parts of the world. But this festival not only brings fun but also a number of health benefits.
Flying kites gives us a healthy exposure in the sun from early morning and the early sun rays are known to be a rich source of Vitamin D. Since winter brings a lot of sickness, the sun rays are known to wipe them all.

I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
